WARNING
Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in
serious injury or death. Before shifting into reverse, always come
to a complete stop and check for obstacles or people behind the
vehicle. When it’s safe to proceed, back slowly. A void backing on
inclines. Avoid turning at sharp angles.
Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required
for vehicle movement. Use with caution.
NOTE: The override switch should be used with caution as rearward
vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide
open throttle. Open the throttle just enough to maintain a
desired speed.
CAUTION
Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may
cause fuel to build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping
and/or engine damage.
